Chapter 193: Potter Strikes

President Lisboa's mood at this time can be described as a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Finally, relying on Modell's courageous performance, he won some praise from the international community, and even the Americans had to send praise and blessings in a fake way.

But within a few days, such a terrible march and riot took place in Moscow, and the police responsible for maintaining order killed at least a dozen young people.

In plain sight, Lisboa didn't even have a chance to cover the lid, and in less than an hour, the whole incident had been publicized by all major media in the world.

After listening to the statements of several responsible persons at the scene, including Long You, Lisboa suddenly had a judgment in his heart.

"It seems to be another conspiracy against us." Lisboa never smoked, but now he was so worried that he had the urge to smoke.

"Modell, how do you think we should explain this to the outside world?"

Long You sat on the sofa and nodded at Lisboa, and quickly considered the situation of the iron mask in his heart, and then said very cautiously: "If we expect foreign media to report completely unbiased, it is actually a luxury...... I think the most important purpose for us this time is to focus on the country. ”

"Oh, your point of view is very special, you can tell me more about it!" Lisboa also wanted to hear more from everyone, and did not expect such an insightful opinion from a military agent like Moder. But when I heard his unique words, I immediately became interested.

"I think there are a lot of international media and opinion leaders who can't please them even if we try our best. Rather than this, it is better to satisfy the domestic population. Mr. President, what I said may involve a lot of aspects, and I would like to ask your forgiveness here for the aspects that I should not have talked about. ”

"It's okay, you say it boldly."

"Good...... I think international oil prices are rising sharply now. So much so that our country's foreign exchange earnings are also increasing. If we go hand in hand with an increase in universal welfare and an increase in domestic security budgets, we may be able to defuse the troubles caused by this crisis. ”

At first hearing this, Lisboa did feel a little unhappy in his heart.

These things at the national policy level, when Moder brought them here, really made it a little difficult for him to deal with.

If he refuses to increase the people's welfare, the word spreads to the outside world, and his approval rating may plummet a lot overnight.

However, Lisboa held back his anger and thought about it for a while. only to find that what Moder said was not unreasonable.

There were heavy casualties in the demonstrations, and on the surface it appeared that the government ordered the shooting of demonstrators, and the public feared that the government's support for Lisboa would put a big question mark.

Even if the results of the investigation later reveal that someone deliberately stirred up the relationship between the government and the people, there will always be a group of conspiracy theorists who will jump out to refute the government's fraud.

Therefore, instead of putting all your energy into explaining this matter, it is better to buy it directly with benefits......

The common people are the most practical, as long as their own interests are protected. What's the big deal about those little hooligans who have eaten enough and have nothing to do, and who are idle all day long?

Lisboa motioned for Long You to sit down, with a look of appreciation on his face. He said to him, "I can't see it, Moder, you really have some potential for politics." I'm going to give this an account and let the government start working on the new benefits. ”

"An increase in the security budget. I can give you the answer right now...... I fully agree with you that terrorist attacks have become more and more rampant, especially against ordinary people. Next year, the funding of several intelligence services will be on the original basis. Increase by 10 percent. If there is a special event, I will also make a temporary allocation. ”

Lisboa's words made the faces of several members of the intelligence department present smile, and the increase in budget could not only purchase more advanced equipment, but also improve combat effectiveness. Even more pleasantly, everyone's income can increase.

"Has the policeman who fired the grenade first woken up from his coma?" Lisboa asked.

"Mr. President, our colleagues at the hospital have reported that he is still in a deep coma and that the test report indicates that he has been poisoned. The other party controlled his potion, which seemed to be very domineering, and he didn't consider the side effects after using it at all. ”

An agent from the NSA stood up and replied.

Long You shook his head, "This may be the purpose of the other party, so that we have no one to ask if we want to ask...... Moreover, once something happens to others, the outside world will suspect us of killing people. This trick is really very ruthless. ”

Just as the crowd was thinking about a solution, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Mr. President, there is an emergency to report to you."

Lisboa's full-time secretary walked in from outside the door and said anxiously.

"What's the situation!"

The secretary did not reply, but walked over to the TV and pulled up the live TV program of the British National Broadcasting Corporation.

"Porter Duma, what is the purpose of your press conference?"

On the TV screen, Potter, who had been missing for many days, suddenly appeared, and he was surrounded by reporters from all over the world.

After listening to the questioning of this beautiful reporter from the German Daily Mirror, he said with a serious face: "I am here, as a Duma chosen by the people, and I want to strongly condemn the brutal performance of the government in this peaceful march and protest!" As a Russian, I am deeply ashamed that this was an act of disgrace to Russia, a fascist action against freedom and human rights. ”

Porter's words suddenly burst into an exclamation among the reporters, most of the foreign media reporters had surprises written on their faces, as if this was an amazing explosive news, while some domestic media reporters showed a trace of disgust on their faces, and some male reporters had even rolled up their sleeves and were ready to start beating people.

Potter looked at everyone's reactions, seemed very satisfied, and continued to speak into the TV camera: "I strongly urge the government to explain this matter as soon as possible, and those who have played a dishonorable role in this incident should be severely punished regardless of the size of their positions." ”

As soon as Potter finished speaking, a reporter in Russia suddenly asked: "If the top leadership is wrong, who will punish him?" ”

"We in Russia should be a democratic country with the people first, so whoever is wrong, the people have the right to punish him......"

Potter didn't mention the name of the president of Lisboa at all, but anyone who wasn't an idiot knew that Potter's spearhead was directed at Lisboa.

"Enough...... Turn off the TV! ”

Long You looked back at the voice, and President Lisboa was already so angry that his face turned pale, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"This guy finally jumped out. He thought he was winning, hum, I'll let him know, he's still a little tender. ”

Lisboa informed the secretary: "Immediately call the media, I want to hold a press conference." ”

He paused for a little for two seconds, and then said to Long You, "Moder, you stay for a while, and come to the press conference with me later." ”

"Yes......"

This meeting ended in a hurry when President Lisboa was furious, and Long You sat aside and waited quietly, but he was once again vigilant about the affairs of the divine envoy organization.

Iron Mask, Potter, Gold Theft, Beslan Hostage Incident...... Or is there that poisoning incident?

One thing after another is connected, and people have to think that the Divine Envoy Organization is completely coming for the throne of the supreme power in Russia, and Long You is just a stumbling block before the Divine Envoy Organization can achieve its goal.

However, according to Long You's own observations and the information transmitted by Terr, although the members of the Divine Envoy Organization all possess such and such special functions, other than that, they are just ordinary people.

Some are teachers, some are workers, some are businessmen...... They don't have a well-established, cohesive organizational structure.

In other words, they are more like a group of rangers with their own unique skills than a party that can participate in governing the country.

They may be good at sabotage and assassination, but it is impossible to control the entire country through Potter alone.

Don't?

Long You didn't dare to think any deeper, because if he extrapolated according to this logic, the Divine Envoy Organization was just a front to rush to the forefront. To take full control of the country, Iron Mask needs at least a political team hidden in the depths.

Moreover, what made Long You unsure was how much relationship the Minister of Defense and the Divine Envoy Organization had, whether it was full cooperation or disagreement, or just a tentative contact.

Because if these guys with their own unique skills really unite with the snake of Dyukov, the threat posed by it will increase exponentially.

The more Long You thought about it, the more clueless he became, he felt like he was trapped in a big net, even though he had thousands of troops and superhuman combat power in his hands, he didn't know where to start.

Whether Iron Mask faked his death this time, or whether someone else was wearing a mask and disguised as him, Long You couldn't tell for a while.

It stands to reason that the last time there was a violent explosion in the completely sealed environment of the vault, even when Long You hid in the only exit, his body was injured to a certain extent, and Iron Mask should be dead anymore.

Unless he can teleport!

Thinking of this possibility, Long You sneered in his heart and quickly rejected this hypothesis.

Even if it was the kind of skill that Long You had before the military disarmament, he didn't have the ability to cut through the void and travel from one place to another out of thin air, so this was unlikely.

All that's left is ......

"Sir Modell, Mr. President has called you!"

The secretary knocked on the door and woke up Long You, who was thinking.

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

Long You straightened his clothes, hurriedly followed behind the secretary, and walked towards the news room.

As soon as Long You entered the room, he found that the room was already crowded with news media from all over the world, and they probably expected Lisboa's reaction after hearing Porter's press conference, and waited at the entrance of the palace early, waiting for President Lisboa to summon him.
